Opus One President and
CEO Joshua Wong says that
the purpose of the project is
to work with National Grid to
develop and deploy an operational distributed system
platform (DSP).

“We’re building the DSP asa software-driven platformthat takes into account real-time and longer term griddata with the Buffalo Niag-ara Medical Campus in Buf-falo, (N. Y.),” Wong said. “Thecampus will be a partici-pant on the DSP, and they willexchange price signals so theDSP can generate a stackedvalue, which will be translated into a price signal and sent to thecampus to evaluate whether to participate and dispatch distrib-uted resources accordingly.”Opus One’s work is based on the company’s intelligent energynetworking solution, called GridOS.

According to Wong, the nature of the transactions on the DSP
are DER-to-platform transactions before enabling peer-to-peer
functionalities (i.e., one homeowner with solar generation transacting directly with a neighbor).

“There’s a lot of interest around enabling choice with peer-to-peer, but right now the emphasis is on providing grid-level services that are stacked across distribution and bulk systems,”
Wong said.

He added that Opus One is in the second phase of the project
with National Grid, actively building out the DSP now.

“There was a phase one feasibility stage that was reported
back to the [New York Department of Public Service], and now
we are going through software development in conjunction with
